This website is run by the Her Excellency Dr Fatou Bensouda Centre for Human Rights & Justice, with its address at P.O. Box 2070, Kanifing South, The Gambia, West Africa. We are the “controller” of the personal information described in this policy, which means we decide how and why it is used. You can contact us at info@fbensoudahumanrights.org or by post at P.O. Box 2070, Kanifing South, The Gambia, West Africa.
We collect only what we need to run this website and respond to you:
We do not ask for special category data (such as information about health, ethnic origin, religion or political opinions) through this website, and we ask that you do not include any in your message unless it is necessary.
Under The Gambia’s Personal Data Protection and Privacy Act 2025, and any other data protection law that applies to you, we must have a lawful basis for using your personal information. We use it as follows:
We will not send you marketing emails unless you have asked us to or we are otherwise permitted to by law, and we do not sell personal information. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
This website does not currently use cookies or similar technologies for analytics, advertising or tracking. If that changes, we will ask for your consent where the law requires it and update this policy.
Messages sent through the contact form are handled by a third-party form service, Formspree, which delivers them to our inbox. We may also use service providers for web hosting and email. They act on our instructions and may use your information only to provide their services to us. Where it is needed to deal with your enquiry, we may share it with the members of the Centre’s team who need it to deal with your enquiry. We may also disclose information where the law requires it. We do not sell or rent personal information.
Some of our service providers, such as our form service, web host and email provider, may be located outside The Gambia. Where your information is transferred outside The Gambia, we take the steps required by The Gambia’s Personal Data Protection and Privacy Act 2025 and use appropriate safeguards to protect it. If you contact us from the United Kingdom, the European Union or another country with its own data protection law, we will also take that law into account where it applies to us.
We keep enquiries only for as long as needed to respond to you, to follow up on any collaboration you have raised, and for reasonable record-keeping. When we no longer need the information, we delete it or anonymise it.
We take appropriate technical and organisational steps to protect personal information. No method of transmission over the internet or of electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Under The Gambia’s Personal Data Protection and Privacy Act 2025, and any other data protection law that applies to you, you have rights that include the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@fbensoudahumanrights.org. There is normally no charge, and we aim to respond within one month. We may need to confirm your identity first.
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal information, please tell us first at info@fbensoudahumanrights.org or at P.O. Box 2070, Kanifing South, The Gambia, West Africa. You can complain in any way that suits you, and it does not need to be labelled a “data protection complaint”. We will acknowledge your complaint within 30 days, investigate it, and keep you informed of the outcome.
You also have the right to complain to the supervisory authority responsible for data protection in The Gambia, which is established under the Personal Data Protection and Privacy Act 2025. If you are in the United Kingdom, the European Union or another country, you may also complain to your local data protection authority.
This website is intended for adults and is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the website. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
This website links to external sites, including our LinkedIn and X profiles. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of other websites, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be on this page, with the date it was last updated.
For any question about this policy or your personal information, write to info@fbensoudahumanrights.org or at P.O. Box 2070, Kanifing South, The Gambia, West Africa.
